    I am sorry. But I like some Powells music but most sounds like how to train your dragon. Cant stand the percussion driven tracks (lazy) and use of high almost folk flute flourishes and guitar (or what it is) in Solo. He can do beautiful music - Landos closet is amazing love theme, absolutely stunning but then he always return to his HTTYD style 😑

    It is OK to dislike or be disappointed by a new JW score.

    I must say I am quite pleased with the music but not super excited overall. 
     
    there are some really nice tracks and moments - way better than most of JWs recent music, but he still seems to be holding back a bit. 

    what I don’t like most is: 

    1) no raiders march, not even much of it in the score
     
    2) only one new theme (at least officially)
     
    Helenas theme is beautiful but it is not enough for me. I was also listening to KotCS today - and wow, Irinas theme, Call of the Krystal… I am sorry but it was way better Score than Dial of Destiny in every aspect, way more “classic” Williams. Dial is pretty but it is too reserved and lacks the balls and new thematic material.

    I saw Kathleen Kennedy on the live stream yesterday, I think she really didn't find the joke about getting his room number very funny. She left the stage like a bullet!
     
    Anyway, I think there's many aspect of Star Wars she'll never found funny. She doesn't have too...
     
    My favourite part of the live stream was when a guy asked to Ian McDiarmid what Emperor Palpatine’s favorite dessert might be.
     
    McDiarmid replied that the Emperor probably did not like desserts.
     
    He said: "He's eating Ewoks."

    I finally had chance to listen to the better quality version and well.... I am not  impressed.  This is on a level of Galaxy's Edge which I find to be one of the weakest SW music cues. I was awaiting a theme that will be close to Force theme, strong melody, melancholic, dramatic, with some nice gradation. I do not fid it here. Not that Adventures of Han was so great but it still was quite exciting action piece with some memorable parts, here even after 5 listens, I am not getting the "vibe" or something memorable from it and this is something I am not used to with JW themes. I am bit sad.  Hymn to the Oscars was a proof that he still can do this exciting 80/90s kind of stuff but this theme is for me not the case. 


    BTW, Is it me or the orchestration is especially weak here - I think it could be done way better.

    Interesting. I found JW's theme the best part of that score.

    This.
     
    The theme starts off pretty well. For me the weak part is the more dramatic one in the middle with the string ostinato, sounds like kind of Across the Stars imitation, but not as good. But I guess its purpose of this part is to give Holt something for more dramatic scenes at hand. Anyway. I am quite sure it might grow on me.

    About the structure, and after ony two listenings, I found JW's new Obi-Wan Kenobi Theme to be in total continuity with the music he wrote for the last trilogy, particularly with the new themes he developped for The Force Awakens.
     
    That's gold.

    handz reacted to Thor in John Williams "didn't collaborate" with Holt for Obi-Wan show, wrote the theme and a suite in 2 weeks   
    Williams spent about two weeks re-scoring the entirety of THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING, and that turned out great. Of course, he was only 41 at the time. But I'm sure it's enough time for him to compose a decent theme even at 90.

    My grandfather 93 died yesterday, he was in great shape, living alone, doing things around the house. It was totally sudden. So, definitely, enjoy JW while you can everyone, any concert can be the last now. It really saddens me  that I didnt know about this concert sooner to get tickets like last time, I have it 2,5 hours to Wien, sucks. I pray for the Milano concert to happen.

    As I said earlier, I desperately want to escape Potzdamer Platz and immediate surroundings when I'm in Berlin. Tourist trap with astronomical prices, bad service and bad food. So if we're doing a pre-concert dinner, I'm looking at other neighbourhoods instead (Kreuzberg or Prenzlauer Berg, for example -- a gastronomy buff friend of mine has recommended a long list of great budget restaurants in these areas). And we'll just have to plan sufficient time to get to the Philharmonie (should be about 30 minutes with public transportation, depending). But for a post-concert drink, I'm game for anywhere. Doesn't matter. Even in the worst tourist spots in Berlin, the beer is still much cheaper than in the most ragged pub in Norway.
